About this game
From the publisher of Citizen Sleeper and The Pale Beyond and the developers of beloved historical fiction, Herald: The Interactive Period Drama.
Experience a dark and supernatural take on dispatching narrative RPGs, set in the last days of the Cold War.
Your life, for lack of a better word… sucks. So, when “Daddy,” a seductive and enigmatic vampire offers you a new life filled with power and purpose, how could you refuse?
You accept what he calls “the sweetest kiss of all,” and become not just a vampire, but an Augur, the psychic dispatcher for his house of undead spies.
With these new powers, your fate is now in your own hands. Your choices determine the destiny of your house. Will you remain loyal to Daddy, or defy him by carving out your own path, no matter the consequences?
As the Augur, your agents are an extension of you. You feel what they feel as they prowl the tunnels of the U-Bahn and claim new stations to add to your psychic network. As the player, you see it as a mind-map of 80s Berlin, sprinkled with 'Opportunities' at each node, such as clues to investigate, secrets to uncover, and people to meet (or devour).
Confront the Wheel of Fate, a skillcheck system tied to 6 unique character skills. Choose the right agent for each Opportunity, based on their skills and relationships.
With Daddy preoccupied with more important and mysterious matters, the Augur is left to care for your agents’ resources. Manage their energy, money, and blood supply, all without risking exposure to the outside world.
Gain the trust of the city’s factions to improve your reputation and unlock vampiric buffs and boons.
Each vampire in the house has their own story to tell, brought to (un)life with captivating voice acting, and alluring Live2D motion-capture animation.
Deepen your bonds with your agents by joining them on personal missions, where you’ll learn about their individual pasts and struggles. Your choices will help them resolve their stories, level up their skills, and guide them to their ultimate destinies.
Meet the Cast
Linh: A thrill-seeking immigrant from Vietnam whose appetite for violence is only rivaled by the depth of her trauma.
Sasha: Like the flirty and sly alleycat he is, Sasha knows how to wriggle his way through the backstreets of Berlin. And into Daddy's lap as his favourite pet.
Zita: Already weary of the afterlife, Zita yearns for the glitz of her glamourous past—before the world became… this.

Learn more about Red Kiss’ fan-favourite twink
You asked for him, and we heard you. This month, Red Kiss’ Art Director, Aïda, gave us another look behind the curtain at the history of Daddy’s favourite vampire: Sasha!Sasha took roughly two years to design, because perfection takes time. We’re sure the fans will agree that he was worth the wait.“I knew I wanted a punk character, and I wanted a ‘danger twink’ type of character. A twunk, if you will," Aïda explained. Sasha was originally designed as a more melancholic character, but eventually, making him louder and more rebellious, with an edgier demeanor and outfit, was the ticket to creating the charming punk we all know today. He just had to go through a few different phases with his hair color first.“I knew I wanted something red in his design, but making his hair red was not doing it for me. Then it finally clicked when I gave him his flamboyant red jacket, and now he’s one of my favorite designs.” Sometimes creators have names that rattle around in their heads, saved for when the time is right. Sasha is one of those cases, as Aïda always liked its androgynous quality. It fit him naturally, and everything fell into place. Sasha isn’t the only thing we have more info on, though! We’ve also got the first of three sets of inspirations that the team at Wispfire has shared with us throughout development.Bart, the game’s narrative director, explained that the classic horror film Possession, starring the late Sam Neill, is a major inspiration for the game.For starters, both are stories about monsters set in Berlin during the 80s, and both include spies, but it goes beyond the surface-level similarities.Bart explained that its use of the political unrest and division erupting in Cold War Berlin as a symbolic background for the movie’s visceral depiction of a marriage’s collapse inspired the work of Red Kiss. The subject matters are different, but the ability to use history and division as a metaphor provided a compelling source of inspiration when writing the game’s ...Read full article on Community Announcements (nathan)AnnouncementsOfficial
Red Kiss: Behind the Scenes #1
While Wispfire is hard at work on our (blood)thirsty dispatching RPG, Red Kiss, we at Fellow Traveller are doing our own espionage, snooping around for cool behind-the-scenes tidbits to share.For this first peek behind the curtain, we’ll share some inspirations for the enigmatic Daddy’s character design, as well as some of the work that went into the stylish trailer that probably brought you here.Behind the Design: DaddyDaddy is the master vampire who invites you into this twisted underground mystery.When designing Daddy’s outfit, Red Kiss’ Art Director, Aïda knew that the House’s leader should wear an eye-catching suit, but, like Daddy’s motivations, a final design was proving elusive.Inspiration struck shortly after, not from fashion, but from a fine piece of British engineering. Running into this stylish Jaguar on the streets of Berlin, Aïda knew that she wanted Daddy’s design to feel just like the car looked. The inspiration paid off, with an iconic character design following, well… suit. And to Aïda, we say: Speaking of Daddy, be sure to let us know if you have any questions you have for Wispfire or Daddy(?). We’re cooking up something special, where we’ll be showing off more of Red Kiss’ Live2D technology, while giving you a chance to get more intimately acquainted with our cast of undead characters.So respond to this post (or jump into the Fellow Traveller Discord) with any questions or desires you might have.How a Trailer Gets MadeWe assume you’ve seen the Red Kiss trailer already, but just in case you haven’t - check it out here!Animated trailers take a lot of work and coordination to put together!
